## History

Lankhor was founded in 1988 as a result of the merger between Kyilkohr creations and Béatrice & Jean-Luc Langlois. Lankhor gained notoriety with productions such as Wanderer and Killdozers.[3] Since 1994, the company has ceased to independently publish games and focuses on their development. During the 1980s-90s, there was a period of strong creativity and innovation with hits crowned with Tilt d'Or awards such as Mortville Manor, Maupiti Island and Vroom.[4] From 1994, the company abandoned its publishing activities to devote itself solely to development. At the beginning of 1996, Daniel Macré having joined Jean-Luc Langlois in the company management, signed a development contract for Formula 1 games under FIA license with the British publisher Eidos Interactive. In 2000, Lankhor was developing video games for Microïds including Ski Park Manager which was released in 2002.[5] The company however experienced a difficult financial situation which started at the end of the same year; this situation led the company to cancel its contract with Video System, a Japanese video game distribution house. At the end of 2001, Lankhor announced its closure which came to pass on October 3, 2002.
